1 | Do they who reign live 900 years? | Rev 20:1 | sonofmom | 224868 | ||
During a get-together at a church, a man said that those who would be reigning with Christ were to be alive for 900 years-plus, as in the days before the flood. I questioned that notion, and the pastor actually agreed with him so I asked where the Bible might mention such a thing. I was told it was somewhere in Isaiah. Can anybody tell me what they might be speaking of? |

Hello sonofmom, I'm unfamiliar with "those who would be reigning with Christ were to be alive for 900 years-plus",(?) Are we talking about the millennium as - The period of 1,000 years referred to in Revelation chapter 20, where Satan is bound and believers reign with Jesus Christ? As Tyndale bible Dictionary notes: "The idea of a thousand-year reign may also be supported by passages such as Acts 3:19–21 and 1 Corinthians 15:23–26, which speak of a future restoration and reign of Christ." As far as I'm aware, the doctrine of this believers reign with Christ is only explicitly taught in Revelation! My cursory review and check in Isaiah finds no such references? BradK |

Thanks for the reply, I know the query was a bit vague.. Yes, the discussion was about the millennial reign where believers reign with Christ. a young man said he heard that believers were to go back to living long lives, like 900 years or so. I never heard of such, so I questioned and the pastor agreed with him. This pastor is very knowledgable in the word. I thought they were suggesting that the people who reign with Christ were to go back to living lives of multiple centuries. I will have to question them further on the subject son |

Shalom sonofmom, When I once questioned the need for the healing in the trees I was given a similar answer. I was told that the trees were there for those who were alive after the tribulation, but that their years would revert back to the 120 years God mandated toward the flood area. That seemed to make sense, since Rev. does speak of believers surviving to enter into the millenial era, while those who returned with Messiah would not need the healing as they would already be glorified. Does that sound like what the discussion was about? |

Aleichem Shalom ariel, well, thank you all for the help, I will just have to go to the pastors office and ask him. I have some work to do on the tile floor at this church so I will be there soon. I was hoping to get some insight before I questioned him. Bless you all for trying (((o: son |

God's day to you, sonofmom and welcome to the SBF, Revelation 20:4 says it who reign 1000 years, they will live forever based on verses 5-6 ... they are part of the first resurrection. Notice who will reign with Him. It is a limited number (3 qualifications). Revelation 20:4 "Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those 1. who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and 2. those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and 3. had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; ... and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years." Verse 5 continues "The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection." And verse 6 "Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years." Stay and ask more questions and share your reponses, Searcher |
